The notion of ‘traditional hip hop’ has changed forever. Whether you’re talking about genre bending projects from superstars like Kanye West and Lil Wayne or surprising debuts from new artists like Kid Cudi and Drake, Hip Hip has never had a more exciting, expressive moment.If Hip Hop is reaching a tipping point, and it’s followers are expanding their horizons, it’s Chiddy Bang who serve as the Pied Piper for the freshman set. Chiddy Bang’s principle songwriters, Chidera Anamege and Noah Beresi’s debut was with the infectious and loopy self released mixtape ‘Swelly Express. Sometimes using samples from artists such as MGMT, Passion Pit and even the film ‘Mary Poppins’ for inspiration, Chiddy Bang completely alters the tracks turning them into something of their own.Chiddy Bang’s infectious sound scored the group a deal with Parlophone/Emi UK. From this they were quickly scooped up by Virgin Records/Emi Music to release Chiddy’s debut album in New Zealand due out end of September 2010. As the confinements of urban music become looser and looser, Chiddy Bang is out to prove that Hip Hop ain’t dead... it’s just ain’t the same.
